2016 Badminton Asia Championships (Thurs, 28 April)

Mastumoto/Takahashi should have no problem facing the CHN pair... long rally should be more beneficial to the fitter JPN pair.
 
So now INA camp can only rely on their WD (+1 MD) to make up their losses early this day. Well, that's unusual...
 
Mastumoto/Takahashi should have no problem facing the CHN pair... long rally should be more beneficial to the fitter JPN pair.
didnt you notice.. the chinese have adapted to this kinda play too... case in point.. the recent china masters between the luo sisters and this chinese pair
 
Mastumoto/Takahashi should have no problem facing the CHN pair... long rally should be more beneficial to the fitter JPN pair.

On paper, Yes.
However, Chen/Jia have been growing up tremendously recently, beating out much more established pair like Juhl/Pedersen, also Chang/Lee and Fukuman/Yonao. So I wouldn't be so sure Matsutomo/Takahashi will have easy win.
 
Why Zheng Siwei is not here? Is there a rule that state each country can only have max 4 players/pairs in each events?

We just witnessed long rally and the CHN pair in the end hit the shuttle out.
 
I think Bae Yeon Ju will retire soon. Maybe right after the Olympics. She simply cannot keep up with the new generation.

Nozomi slaughtering her now
 
So proud of Matsumoto/ Takahashi ! They had made such tremendous progress since last year, changed their style completely. They have a real chance at olympic gold now :3

+ they are so damn cute ;p
 
And the Wolrd n°1 Mastumoto/ Takahashi safely through QF in two straight game 22-20 21-18

They're current best WD now and definitely a major stumbling block for Chinese pairs in Rio 2016.
